libxl: add libxl__forkexec function to libxl_exec

Add a new function to libxl_exec that performs a fork and executes the passed
arguments using libxl__exec.

I was going to submit this as a part of the hotplug script calling from libxl
series, but since it seems to be interesting for qcow/qcow2 support I decided to
submit it separately.
